Vinaio course

The vinaio is someone who sells wine at the retail or wholesale level, commonly known as the innkeeper. With the term vanaio, we also refer to the person engaged in the winemaking activities of the face and the subsequent phases of conservation and distillation. Wine is an alcoholic beverage, obtained from the fermentation (total or partial) of the fruit of the vine, the grapes (whether pressed or not), or the must. Wine can also be obtained from grapes belonging to crosses of Vitis vinifera with other species of the Vitis genus (for example Vitis labrusca or Vitis rupestris) and from grapes of different Vitis species (such as Vitis chunganensis). With this drink you can also give life to a distillate which, if aged for at least 12 months in wood, takes the name of brandy. The quality and diversity of wines strictly depend on the grape variety, climate, from the ground, from its exposure to solar radiation and from the more or less accurate cultivation of the vine itself. The wines differ from each other for the vinification system (normal and special wines) and for the organoleptic properties: color, smell, taste and aroma; other parameters combine to define the characteristics of a wine: alcohol content, acidity, flavor, astringency (due to tannins) and other tactile properties. Wines can be differentiated into still wines or sparkling wines depending on whether or not they are able to release carbon dioxide when the bottles are opened. The non-fermented sugar content of the wine (dry, semi-dry, sweet or other specific terms in the case of sparkling wines) constitutes a further distinction.
